Shot in the studio with white backdrop and beauty dish off camera left. Held the camera in my hands and made some faces. Then experimented with the draganizer filter, dodging and burning, selecting my eyes, sharpening and enhancing color. A teacher of mine printed this out in a poster size for one of our class rooms. Its kind of weird with my watching over everyone.

I was going to give you a 6, which would have lowered your score, so I'm glad I didn't. As I said, I love the composition - excellent sharpness, POV, DOF. The processing just threw me off.
Still never quite got over this one - in a good way of course - brings a smile to my face.
Amazing at how much the thumbnail looks like a caricature drawing like one would get at an amusement park.
:)
You need to get a lens that is a little less sharp, what excruciating details! Great textures and tones in the face. Is that foundation make-up you are using?
interesting processing. like the composition but going to pass on voting as not my style - don't want to lower what may be a decent score due to my bias.
This is one of the best applications I’ve seen for the “pushed” HDR/dragonized looking processing. In general I’m not a big fan of the look. Mostly because the photos I’ve seen it used on would have looked better or more natural, without it. I have seen this techniques done well here on DPC where the HDR adjustments were barely detectable and not pushed to the cartoon stage on landscapes and such. I have seen the dragon filter used only a few times where I have actually liked the effect. You have managed to successfully pair the “pushed” HDR/dragon filter look (for lack of a better word) up with an animated expression. Top-notch work in every way and to date this is my favorite “animated looking” processing here at DPC. High marks from me. Good luck in the challenge
Dont know exactly, how to think about this one. But it is technically well done and funny too. Thanks for sharing and good luck in the challenge! voted 8
